Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to video content analysis technology, and more particularly to a method of emendation of the attention trajectory in the video content analysis.
- In the technology field of video content analysis, visual attention is the ability to rapidly detect the interesting parts of a given scene. In a typical spatiotemporal visual attention computing model, low level spatial/temporal features are extracted and a master “saliency map” which helps identifying visual attention is generated by feeding all feature maps in a purely bottom-up manner. Identifying visual attention for each of the image sequence, the attention trajectory is then indicated. However, several inherent disadvantages arise in the conventional attention computing scheme: 1) since there are varies of features competed in saliency map, a slight change of any of these features may lead to result differ, which means that so calculated attention trajectory is unstable and blinking time by time; 2) the attention may be fully or partially omitted because of shelter, position of critical saliency degree, or attention boundary etc. in a specific time slot; 3) it may produce noise or very short-life attention, when adopting in attention-based video compression/streaming or other applications, such an un-smooth attention will lead to subjective quality degradation.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 which indicates the general architecture of Itti's Attention Model. In the Itti's attention model, which is presented by L. Itti, C. Koch and E. Niebur, in “A Model of Saliency-Based Visual Attention for Rapid Scene Analysis”, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Vol. 20, No. 11, November 1998, visual input is first decomposed into a set of topographic feature maps. Different spatial locations then compete for saliency within each map, such that only locations which locally stand out from their surround can persist. All feature maps feed, in a purely bottom-up manner, into a master “saliency map”, which topographically codes for local conspicuity over the entire visual scene. - As an extension of Itti's attention model, Y. F. Ma etc. take temporal features into account, published by Y. F. Ma, L. Lu, H. J. Zhang and M. J. Li, in “A User Attention Model for Video Summarization”, ACM Multimedia '02, pp. 533-542, December 2002. In. this model, the motion field between the current and the next frame is extracted and a set of motion features, such as motion intensity, spatial coherence and temporal coherence are extracted.
- The attention model created by the above scheme is sensitive to feature changes, which lead to un-smooth attention trajectory across time as follows:
- (1) Successive images in image sequence are very similar and viewers will not tend to change their visual focus during a time slot, unfortunately, the slight changes between these successive images will make the calculated attention great differ;
- (2) When an attention object becomes non-attention or sheltered by a non-attention object for a short period, viewers will not change their visual focus because of their memory knowledge, again, attention models fail to indicate this; and
- (3) Attention models always generate short-life attention or noise, which in fact will not be able to attract viewer's attention.
- In attention-based video applications like ROI(Region of Interest)-based video coding, such un-smoothness will lead to subjective visual quality degradation. In ROI-based video coding, more resource are allocated to the more attractive ROI and thus a more clear ROI while related blurred non-ROI. With an un-smooth ROI trajectory, viewer focused in ROI will notice the changing quality (become clear or blurred from time to time) which lead to an unhappy experience.
- Therefore it is desirable to develop an improved method of emendation for attention trajectory to reduce the influence of these disadvantages and make the generated attention smooth.
- In order to smooth the trajectory of attention obtained by varies of attention models, the present invention provides a method of temporal-based emendation for attention trajectory in the video content analysis.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for emendation of attention trajectory in video content analysis including extracting attention areas for each frame of a video sequence, each attention area of a frame selectively being a reference for the other frames, characterized in that the method further comprises steps of projecting the attention area for each reference to a current frame; and determining an enhanced attention area of the current frame by collecting all the projected attention areas together with the original attention area of the current frame to emend the attention trajectory of the video sequence so as to make the attention trajectory of the video sequence smooth.
- Advantageously, the attention trajectory of the video sequence is smoothened by the temporal emendation efficiently, short-life attention or noise is omitted, and the attention area is also enriched, therefore an improved subjective viewing experience in the attention-based application is achieved.
- In another aspect of the invention, the method for emendation of attention trajectory is further characterized for its projecting step which includes imaging the attention areas from the reference to the current frame; and moving the imaged attention area to a new position according to an estimated motion vector. The references to be projected to the current frame include a plurality of forward references and a plurality backward references that are most adjacent to the current frame.
- Advantageously, a smooth emendation of attention trajectory is achieved by collecting and merging all the projected attention areas obtained from the plurality of forward and backward references together with the original attention area of the current frame.

FIG. 2 describes an example of temporal-based emendation for attention trajectory in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 3 describes the estimation of an attention model in a frame from a previous frame in accordance with the present invention; and -
FIG. 4 describes the projection process of forward reference and backward reference in accordance with the present invention. - The present invention provides a method of temporal-based emendation for attention trajectory in video content analysis in order to smooth the trajectory of attention obtained by varies of attention models, which presents a strategy to generate stable attention across the time.
- When an attention area of an image is located, its corresponding areas in successive images can be projected with the estimated motion, and the prediction areas are used to strengthen the attention area of these successive images calculated by known attention model. In this case the first located attention is treated as a reference while the successive images predict from the reference in locating their own attention, clearly this prediction is forward reference. In the same way, we can define the backward reference. Thus the attention area is smoothed through temporal emendation by collecting and merging all projected attention areas together with the original attention areas of the forward and backward references.
- According to one mode of the present invention, the problem to be solved can be denoted as follows:
- Input: a video sequence V={V0, V1, V2 . . . Vn−1, Vn} with known attention Model M;
- Output: Attention areas A={A0, A1, A2 . . . An−1, An} with smooth trajectory.
- With the given attention model M, we can calculate the initial values of attention areas A′={A′0, A′1, A′2 . . . A′n−1, A′n} with A′k=M(Vk). The object of the present invention is aiming to smooth the unstable A′.
-
FIG. 2 illustrates the method of emendation for the attention trajectory of the present invention in a simplified example. Vi denotes a current frame, Vi−1 is a forward reference of Vi and Vi+1 is a backward reference of Vi. As shown inFIG. 2 , the black solid object in each frame is the attention area of the relative frame calculated by the. known attention model M, i.e. the attention area of Vi−1 is Face+Circle+Moon, the attention area of Vi is Face+Sun, and the attention area of Vi+1 is Face+Circle+Heart. For each reference, the present invention takes below actions: First, imaging the attention area from the references Vi−1 and Vi to the current frame Vi as the dotted object in the current frame Vi; then, moving this imaged attention area to a new position according to an estimated motion vector, as indicated by the arrows inFIG. 2 , the received area in the current frame Vi being called as the projecting attention area of the reference. Finally, all projected the attention areas of all references together with the original attention area of the current frame are collected and merged together and optimized so as to obtain an enhanced attention area of the current frame Vi. As described inFIG. 2 , the result of the emendation is shown in the upper-right corner, wherein the “Circle” lost in the original current frame is found in the enhanced current frame Vi, while all the noise/short-life attentions as “Moon” “Sun” and “Heart” are omitted. - Through the foregoing description, the present invention can be partitioned into two steps: first projecting the attention area for each reference to the current frame; then determining an enhanced attention area of the current frame Vi by collecting and merging all the projected attention areas together with the original attention area of the current frame Vi so as to make the attention trajectory smooth.

FIG. 3 describes the estimation of the forward reference from MV(j, i−1) to MV(j, i). As illustrated inFIG. 3 , considering a macroblock MB (the shadowed block) of the current frame Vi, the MB comes from a new position of the forward reference frame Vi−1, according to MV(i−1, i). In the new position, the MB may cover four MBs of Vi−1. Denote the four covered MBs as MBk,t, MBk+1,t, MBk,t+1 and MBk+1,t+1, and Pk,t, Pk+1,t, Pk,t+1 and Pk+1,t+1 are the covered ratio of the original MB into the related MBs in the forward reference frame Vi−1 in respective. Then the motion vector of the shadowed block MB is defined by the weighted combination of the four covered MBs (j<i) as follows:
MV(j,i)[k 0 ,t 0 ]=p k,t *MV(i −1 )[k,t]+p k+1,t *MV(j,
i−1)[k+1,t]+p k,t+1 *MV(j,i−1)[k,t+1]+p k+1,t+1 *MV(j,
i−1)[k+1,t+1];
k=ceil(k 0 +MV x(i−1,i)[k 0 ,t 0);
t=ceil(t 0 +MV y(i−1,i)[k 0 ,t 0]);
P m,n =abs(m−(k 0 +MV x(i−1,i)[k 0 ,t 0]))*abs(n−(t 0 +MV y(i−1 ,i)[k 0 ,t 0])); - Wherein MVx, MVy respectively denote the projection value of MV into x-axis and y-axis, MV(j, i) [k,t] denotes the motion vector of the MB of line t and column k in MV(j, i). Recursively the motion vector field MV(j, i) is defined for j<i, and MV(i, i)=0.
- With thus defined motion vector field MV(j, i), the attention area of each reference is projected to the current frame Vi. The projection process of forward reference and backward reference are different as shown in
FIG. 4 (Vi is the current frame while Vi−det1 is the forward reference and Vi+det2 is the backward reference). - Forward reference projecting is processed in such a way that each MB of Vi comes from the position of Vi−det1 which may cover up to 4 MBs of Vi−det1 according to MV(i−det1, i), each of which strengthens the considered MB of Vi with a proper weight. As an example shown in
FIG. 4 , the reference of block B covers B1, B2, B3 and B4, with proportion p1, p2, p3, p4 respectively. Wherein f(B, i) denotes the probability that B is the attention area of current frame Vi, and f(B, i) is then enhanced by reference frame Vi−det1 with
wherein α is a constant and ρ (d) is the attenuation ratio as described in the following paragraph. - Backward reference projecting is processed in such a way that each MB of Vi+det2 comes from the position of the current frame Vi which may cover up to 4 MBs of Vi according to MV(i, i+det2), each of which is strengthened by that MB of Vi+det2 with a proper weight. As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , B′ is the reference of the related shadowed block in Vi which covers block B1′, B2′, B3′ and B4′ with proportion p1′, p2′, p3′, p4′ respectively. f (Bj′, i) is then enhanced by reference Vi+det2 with
α·ρ(det 2)·p j ′·f(B′,i+det 2),
for each j=1,2,3,4. -
FIG. 4 describes the forward/backward reference projecting process. All the projected attention of references are applied to strengthen the current frame attention with an attenuation ratio ρ(d) where d is the distance from the reference to the current frame. The closer the reference frame is to the current frame, the higher influence the projected attention to current frame attention. Thus ρ(d1)<ρ(d2) for d1>d2, a possible solution is
ρ(d)=1−d/k,
for some constant k. And a such strengthened attention gives the result. - Better reference selection will lead to better attention smoothness. Surely, it's better to select reference inside a video sequence. We need not have to apply other shot boundary detection algorithms. A salient different of attention calculated by the known attention model M indicates the shot boundary we needed. Preferably, inside the video sequence, a plurality of forward references and a plurality of backward references most adjacent to the current frame are selected.
- The emendation method for attention trajectory in video content analysis of the present invention has following advantages:
- present a simple yet efficient way to generate attention with smooth trajectory;
- by temporal emendation, short-life attention or noise is omitted; and
- the attention area is also enriched because of the adoption of temporal information.
- The method for smooth attention trajectory in video content analysis in accordance with the present invention will greatly improve viewing experience in attention-based applications such as bit-allocation.
